Friday night Zappa

Friday, January 25, 2008

A couple of days ago I thought I’d try to find some Frank Zappa for a Friday night concert. What brought Frank to mind was this post on Americablog, that featured this video appearance of Frank on Crossfire. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ISil7IHzxc[/youtube] He makes them all look sort of stupid, doesn’t he? Zappa was a musical genius, but […]

Music to drink (liberally) by

Friday, January 18, 2008

The next meeting of our nascent Drinking Liberally chapter (am I using “nascent” correctly? My dictionary says “yes”, but barely, so I leave it to my resident etymologists to decide) will meet at the Ice House Pub at the Bulkeley House at 111 Bank Street in New London on February 7 at 6:30 PM. We […]

Friday night music is back

Friday, January 11, 2008

I think it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted music. I honestly can’t keep track. This week, two of Simon and Garfunkel’s best. The inevitable Bridge Over Troubled Water. What can I say, it’s a great song. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbFEnoITiWE[/youtube] America [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ULw6tDey0[/youtube]

Christmas concert

Friday, December 21, 2007

Pick and choose what you’d like to watch. This is sort of eclectic. It’s hard to find good stuff on Youtube sometimes. I spent about half an hour trying to find a good clip of Eartha Kitt singing “Santa Baby”, which I think is a real howler. No luck, and Madonna’s version sucks by comparison. […]

Friday Night Music-The Four Seasons

Friday, October 26, 2007

Early sixties, pre-Beatles, summer days and nights on Hartford Avenue at Sound View Beach. This was the music coming from the juke box, at least that’s the way I remember it. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzv55K-6lY4[/youtube] That was from 65, post Beatles. Am I wrong, or are they just pretending to play those instruments? I always thought they were […]
